Tag Archives: What is Divorce Mediation?

Bettina and her family law firm helped my mother-in-law with her divorce. It was extremely helpful that we were able to find her an attorney that was fluent in both English and Spanish.

I will recommend Bettina and her family law firm to my family and friends.

I would like to share the great experience I had with Sean Yanez. I needed to change my name on my birth certificate and had difficulty finding an attorney to assist me. After contacting Sean, he and his assistant Angelica took care of everything. I am very satisfied with them.

A Divorce process i have been battling over 9 years was closed by this Law Firm within 9 months. I specifically say thank you to Patricia Santamaria who represented me through the process.

Sean and his team were incredibly helpful and made the process as seamless as possible. He was very straightforward and honest about everything and was always responding to my questions quickly. I can’t thank them enough for all the help they’ve provided. I’d recommend Sean and his team to anyone who would need a great team on their side.

I’m a very satisfied client. Atty Sean Yanez thank you for taking my case without any hesitation and by the way the most favorable charge retainer fee within OC. And to Atty Patricia Santamaria thank you so much for helping and guiding me throughout the process with my divorce and custody case. I was amazed for the quick and smooth proceedings. Thank you very much.

Attorney Yanez help me understand my divorce options; she is such a strong advocate to have in Orange County.!

she saved my marriage Mrs. Bettina Yanez advised that I tried all options before considering divorce and urged that I consult a marriage counselor. Other law companies I spoke with were solely concerned with getting me divorced, but she saved my marriage. I thank Mrs. Bettina Yanez and her legal team, and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Mrs. Bettina Yanez, Mr. Peter Flanagan and Mr. Sean Yanez worked closely with our family through one of the most difficult and emotional domestic violence divorce. Our entire family suffered by one person's act of violence. Going through this kind of life changing trauma, you will need people of true compassion and willingness to fight to protect you in every possible way. Every dollar spent was more than worth the professionalism this legal firm brought to us. I strongly recommend Yanez & Associates for as an excellent Family Law Firm.

I appreciate everyone at Yanez & Associates. I was blessed to have wonderful attorneys who protected, worked hard and assured me that I came first in all their decision making. I went through a difficult abusive and domestic divorce and Yanez & Associates attorney's, staff and administration responded with respect and urgency to protect me and my family. I highly recommend Yanez & Associates for their values and legal services. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law.

After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed.

I called Yanez & Associates divorce & family law attorneys and scheduled a free consultation with Attorney Yanez few weeks ago. She was very polite and listened attentively and was very informative in her response. She seemed very well-informed in her field, intellectually quick and very assured. Just speaking to her made me feel strong and safe, which is a good sensation to get from an attorney. I would hire this law office just based on their kind conduct. I haven't officially met her due to covid, but I would highly recommend, to anyone looking for a Family Law Attorney.

I didn't hire them but did an initial consult. Laura called me back on a weekend and set up the consultation. I was very impressed getting a call just minutes after submitting a request for help. Thank you for the time!

I scheduled a free consultation with this family law firm and they were really helpful. It indicates a lot to me when someone takes time to talk to you for a few minutes about your problem. Compassion is super important and this law firm has it. Thank you so much.

I reside outside of California and was blindsided with a child custody matter that involved a temporary restraining order. Clearly this was a terrifying and strange spot to be in. From the very first contact with Yanez and her associates I was impressed with their attention to detail. I highly recommend them.

I was in great need of the best family law attorneys to handle a child support matter. I contacted several family law firms. I then called an OC family law firm and spoke with Mrs. Yanez. She was very professional & knowledgeable about family law topics. She went over my case and she answered all my questions. She quoted a price and suggested I also interview other attorneys before making a decision. That made me feel good that she was not rushing me. Most importantly, thanks to attorney Yanez, I was able to recompose and cool off before proceeding.

A little of our story,
My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend to sway with the biological mothers” or so they say.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to have had met with Sean in person a few years prior and were able to get a feel for how we’d hope he’d handle our case. And thankfully we were right. Even with all the Covid 19 obstacles he did not falter. We wanted someone who would listen to our concerns, someone who would answer our questions (and trust me we had a lot!) but not just with what we wanted to hear but with facts, with honesty and sincerity even if it wasn’t the answer we wanted. We wanted someone who knew the ins and outs of the court system and how it all worked and would give us their honest opinion. He was always was a step and ahead and very strategic. He gave us play by play and being in a situation where the end result could possibly be loosing your child, having someone like Sean who was literally there fighting with us made all the difference.
Mr Yanez & Associates were always extremely timely with getting back to us quickly, we never felt out of the loop, we never felt as if we were in limbo waiting on responses or answers or what our next step should be. Their professionalism and knowledge in my opinion is bar none.
The end result is we now live in CO with my stepson, and thanks to Mr. Yanez & Associates, my husband and I can continue to watch our boys grow up together.
If you’re looking for an attorney for your case. Look no further!!
Sincerely,
a Wife & Boy Mom of 3

Attorney Yanez was a godsend. She assisted us with a very difficult custody situation. She gave great advise over the phone and took the time to listen and address my unique situation during these uncertain covid-19 times. She is kind, but a tough divorce attorney. If you want a clever, trustworthy and passionate attorney who cares and knows family law extremely well, I recommend this legal team.

Absolutely remarkable family attorneys. Yanez and his team are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. They know family law! I spent days seeking family law firms before making a decision. This firm was able to help me. Thanks to Mr. Yanez, I'll be able to be spend more time with my son again. If you're looking for a family law attorney for Irvine or the general Orange County area who cares, who's reasonably priced and knows what he's doing, this law firm without a doubt is a must consult with. I highly recommend them.
